Behind every surname in British history stands a life of ambition, conviction, and consequence. Names shape a nation. Volume XLIX of Sidney Lee's monumental Dictionary of National Biography, covering the range Robinson to Russell, forms part of the classic multi-volume biography collection that defined the English national biography for generations. Here, concise, authoritative biographies of notable Britons - statesmen, churchmen, men and women of letters, soldiers, scientists and reformers - are arranged for swift consultation and slow, absorbing reading alike. First issued as a late 19th century reference, this British biographical dictionary captures how Victorian era Britain chose to remember its most influential British historical figures, preserving details now invaluable to genealogy and family research. More than a mere historical reference work, the Dictionary of National Biography became a foundation stone for modern scholarship and a trusted reference for British historians, students and general readers. Collectors and researchers who value the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography or the Burkes Peerage reference collection will recognise in this volume the original voice and texture of the project: brisk yet rounded portraits, meticulous dates and sources, and a distinctly Victorian sense of character and achievement. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
